When someone is arrested in this county for a misdemeanor or felony, they are taken to this jail for booking and processing. If the charges call for it, they stay here until they post bond, are released on their own recognizance, or are ordered held until their trial is resolved.
To see who is currently being held, check the facility’s roster with the inmate search tool.
A sentence of less than one year is served here in the county jail. Anyone sentenced to more than a year is sent to the Alabama State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
On this page you’ll find how to search the official jail roster, directions to the jail, and details on inmate services, including the visitation schedule and rules, putting money on an inmate’s account, sending letters, inmate phone calls, voicemail, email and text messaging, tablet rentals, posting bail, and ordering commissary.
Write down the inmate’s booking number or jail ID as soon as you find it, since you’ll often need it to send mail or set up communication. If it isn’t listed online, call Montgomery County Detention Facility at 334-832-4985 and ask for it.

The Montgomery County Detention Facility is licensed to hold 1290 inmates at a time, but it often has to make room for more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails, at least 40% of the inmate population turns over each month, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take so long to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Montgomery County on such charges remain in custody at the Montgomery County facility much longer.
Each year, Montgomery County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 26,840 offenders.
If a loved one was arrested by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office or another agency in the county on state charges, they are most likely at the Mac Sim Butler Detention Facility, also called the Montgomery County Detention Facility, at 250 S. McDonough Street in downtown Montgomery, AL 36104. (The Montgomery Municipal Jail is a separate city facility for city cases.) The county jail’s 24-hour number is (334) 832-4985, and the sheriff’s office can be reached at (334) 832-4980. A $50 million, 169,768-square-foot expansion that began in October 2006 raised capacity to 1,290. The building has minimum and medium security housing for men, a separate housing unit for women, multi-purpose rooms for programs in each housing area, and an in-house medical and dental clinic with a pharmacy. People here are mostly awaiting trial, serving county sentences, or waiting for transfer to the state prison system.
The sheriff’s online inmate and warrant search at mcsojail.countygovservices.com lists current inmates with their charges, bond amounts, and booking photos. After booking, Alabama Rule of Criminal Procedure 4.3 requires an initial appearance before a judge without unnecessary delay and within 72 hours of arrest. Felony cases go to the 15th Judicial Circuit in Montgomery. Case records are on Alacourt. Anyone who suspects they have a warrant should contact the sheriff’s office or a lawyer before walking in to surrender.
When a bond is set, it can be personal recognizance, an unsecured appearance bond, or a secured bond paid in cash, backed by property located in the county, or written by a licensed bail bond company; call the jail for the amount. Alabama guarantees bail for most defendants. Judges may still deny it in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and, after a detention hearing under Aniah’s Law (2022), for murder; first-degree kidnapping, rape, sodomy, sexual torture, domestic violence, human trafficking, burglary, arson, and robbery; aggravated child abuse and certain offenses against children; and terrorism. Voters added solicitation, attempt, or conspiracy to commit murder and shooting into an occupied building or vehicle in May 2026 (Amendment 1, 81.6% yes). The state’s Rule 7.2 schedule suggests $5,000–$30,000 for a Class B felony and $300–$6,000 for a Class A misdemeanor, though judges can depart from it.
Visiting is by video through IC Solutions. Register first, then schedule at least one day and no more than a week ahead. On-site video visits are Saturday and Sunday from 8 to 11 a.m. and noon to 5 p.m.; remote visits from home are available daily, including 2:30 to 9 p.m., and cost about $7–$10 for 20–25 minutes. Each inmate gets one 30-minute on-site visit a week with no more than four approved visitors. Anyone 16 or older needs photo ID, and younger children must visit with their guardian. Shorts, sleeveless tops, sheer or low-cut clothing, and gang-related clothing will get you turned away.
Mail goes to the inmate’s full name and booking number (MCDF), Mac Sim Butler Detention Facility, P.O. Box 4599, Montgomery, AL 36103. Paperback books can be shipped from retailers such as Amazon (three at a time), newspapers only from the publisher, and magazines and hardcovers aren’t allowed. Put money on an inmate’s account through Inmate Canteen, which also sells commissary packages up to $125 ((715) 690-2965).

The M, Montgomery’s city bus system, runs weekdays and Saturdays from the Intermodal Transit Center at 495 Molton Street in downtown, a short trip from McDonough Street.

- Licensed bail bond agencies in Montgomery County can provide assistance.
- Courts in many places accept real property, such as land or a house, as bond collateral when the owner documents clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves.
